This study evaluated the association of level of anxiety in children with and without sleep bruxism (SB). The study was performed with 84 six-to eigth-years-old children, divided into two groups: with bruxism (BG) and without bruxism (CG). Following the criteria purposed by American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) to determine SB, the presence of tooth wear has been verified through clinical examinations, and the parents have answered a questionnaire about their children's behavior and habits. Additionally, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAIC) was applied to parents of the selected patients. Data analysis revealed a statistical significant difference between the groups (Student's t-test, p = 0.0136). Based on the results, anxiety assessment revealed that children with bruxism have reached higher levels in the STAIC scale than the non-bruxism group. Therefore, it indicates a direct relationship between the presence of anxiety disorder and the onset of bruxism in children.
Em um contexto de pandemia, no Brasil e no mundo, as tecnologias digitais de rede foram sendo adotadas na mediação de processos de ensino-aprendizagem, seja na educação básica ou na educação superior. No cenário brasileiro, dados da Pesquisa TIC Domicílios 2019 (CGI.br, 2019) denunciam que apenas 39% dos domicílios brasileiros possuem computador e que 28% dos domicílios não possuem acesso à internet. Para além do acesso, estudos sobre inclusão digital reforçam a necessidade de se pensar na apropriação social das tecnologias, implicando não somente na instrumentalização e na fluência tecnológica, mas na apropriação crítica, autoral e criativa das tecnologias digitais e no exercício da cidadania na rede. Neste sentido, o que significa ser um excluído digital em um contexto de isolamento social? Que educação estamos praticando e para quem, neste contexto de pandemia?
